Hardbass Unity: Criminal Records Hardbass & Hard Bass Crew Link for EventsTwo dedicated labels in the hardbass scene are teaming up on events. Criminal Records Hardbass (UK) and Hard Bass Crew are collaborating on the ground — not merging, but combining efforts where it counts.
Why this collab makes sense:
• Deep shared roots in classic hardbass�Hard Bass Crew launched in 2011 by Dr. Poky and French duo Sound Makers. They released defining tracks, signed key acts like XS Project, and helped shape the raw, pumping sound that became the foundation of the genre. Criminal Records Hardbass, founded in 2021 by UK veteran PLJA (Russ Patto), was built directly on that same early hardbass DNA. Both labels respect and draw from the same core energy.
• Complementary strengths�Hard Bass Crew brings established classic influence and a strong European presence. Criminal brings a fast-growing international roster, over 200 releases, and active events like Bass Invasion in the West. Together they cover classic authenticity with modern reach and new talent.
• Events-focused alignment�Both have always prioritised real stages and crowds over just digital releases. Joining forces on events creates stronger line-ups that mix pioneers with current producers, bigger crowds, and more consistent nights for the underground.
• Genre-first mentality�Neither label chases trends outside hardbass. This keeps the focus tight: pumping, bumping, donk, and proper hard-hitting bass. It avoids dilution and strengthens the scene from within.
• Proven global potential�Hardbass has always travelled well. This partnership shows the scene can connect different regions and generations without losing its underground edge — practical growth instead of forced hype.
The result should be better events, tighter artist networks, and renewed momentum for everyone involved. Straight bass business.
Hardbass heads - this is definitely one to consider
